  1. Restructuring and Energy Efficiency, Conservation & Demand Response Susan Gray August 26, 2008 PPRAC Meeting

  2. What else has been happening recently at the PSC? • Doug Nazarian replaced Steven Larsen as Chairman on August 16. Mr. Nazarian served as PSC General Counsel (since June 2007) • Restructuring/SB400 – best price/lowest cost/least price volatility/maintain reliability • Case 9117 (IRPs), Case 9149 (RFPs); PC-13 • Energy Efficiency, Conservation & DSM • Case 9111 (TAG); PC-12 (EmPwer MD), PC-15 (Utility Incentives for EE&C and DR)

  3. Restructuring-Related Cases Major Elements (PSC has authority to order): • Utilities to build new power plants • Greater electricity supply reliability • Long-term contracts for power supply (SOS) • Could result in construction of new power plants, greater rate stability • Energy efficiency/conservation as part of supply portfolios • Integrated Resource Plans (IRPs) to be filed by the utilities in October 2008

  4. Energy Efficiency & Conservation (EE&C) and Demand Response Major Considerations: • Reliability (PJM projects problems as early as 2011/2012) • Increases reliability by reducing load on grid • Pricing/charges • How to pay for these programs • Electricity consumption • EmPower MD goal: 15% reduced consumption by 2015 • Wholesale/retail prices • Decreased demand means downward pressure on price • Environmental policies • RGGI/GHG – reductions in emissions; increased price • EE&C program proposals to be filed by the utilities on September 1, 2008.
